i like it- not as much as the last one, but that's because i am more a guitar girl than a plinky plinky synth fan... best track is Reykjavik( spelling?)

So far, I think the title track & Water / Sand are the best couple of tunes for me so far.

Afflicted with a bad dose of bank holiday torpor, I really didn't feel like trudging up to London, but I'm so glad I did as it was pretty amazing. They absolutely nailed it - although I'm not sure my 2 companions fully agreed - the sound was great, especially the drums and probably the most enjoyable of the 14 or so times I've seen them, certainly since I last saw Beeching performed.

More controversially, have BSP written a better song than Gravenhurst's 'The Prize' this year? Let's see how 'Machineries Of Joy. turns out but I think the answer is 'no', much as I love BSP.
